What are your power goals. A radix wont support alot more than 550hp from what I have seen. If you want instant boost and trouble free operation and are happy with 500rwhp then go with the radix you cant beat them for completeness and lack of maintenance. Plus they sound absolutely wicked

I've seen many more happy Radix owners than Procharger owners around here

I have not driven mine with the Radix on yet so I cant say for sure.

Radix is a awsome kit. What size engine are you running??? How much power are you looking to make???? Would you run a base Procharger kit or would you run a P1-2 or a D1??? Also what other mods are you/have you done/doing to your engine and drivetrain??? Its hard to make a decision or give any really good advice with out knowing these things.

I love the power my truck makes with the Radix. I love the sound. I love the way it looks under the hood. Great kit. VERY complete instructions w/a picture for each step and if that's not good enough more help is just a call away and when the call is made you get really knowledgeable truck guys to patiently guide your steps. Going with the Radix is pretty much a perfect choice, imo. There is as member on this forum who is making over 600 rwhp with the Radix.

Sounds to me you are gonna be limited in your mods anyway. The procharger (bigger series)will give you more room to grow, but man you just can't beat the completeness of the radix and the support. Install the "out of box" setup from radix and you'll be done. Move to another area where you can get that bigger cam, some LT's and gutted exhaust and then you need to let everyone know just how far you want to go with you HP needs. 500HP won't be there with the radix out of the box...but DAMMITT...nobody will be able to wipe the smile off your face when your driving it.
